the main difference between George W's illegal war of aggression and Trump's is that Trump didn't even bother to pretend he needed international and domestic support to succeed at.

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Jack Smith explains proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election.

The problem isn't that AI might take over the world. It can't. The problem is that powerful people, who have already taken over the world, will choose AI's continued development over a sustainable world for the rest of us.

Of all the nazis, Kevin Hasset is the most punchable?

This is just one example, but this story is the perfect example of why mediocre white guys are against DEI and this is the “American Dream” they’re trying to preserve. This is the “western culture” they want to protect, and anti-discrimination laws and policies destroy that.

As someone whose life was fundamentally altered by Lyme, RFK Jr. can go to hell. It has been increasingly hard to get diagnosed and treated for Lyme because grifters have flocked to the area. There are countless "specialists" who diagnose Lyme w/out testing and suggest ridiculous "treatments." 1/

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Intermittent fasting: Day 7. Well, that flew by! Results: 3.5 lbs lost! I used a 16:8 schedule and I found it really easy to adopt, though I'm told to expect it's efficacy to plateaus pretty quick.

So...this is just theft, isn't it? Our president is a thief and now our armed forces are too. www.npr.org/2025/12/11/g...

David Lynch talking about his disdain for watching a movie on a phone is everything

Intermittent fasting: Day 3 Since I'm still doing this I suppose I should mention I don't have a plan. I just decide it's time put down the fork at night, set a 16 hour timer on my phone and try not to think about it. There are really only two hurdles I foresee.

LOL @ anyone who decided she'd changed. LOL at me for hoping, even.

Marjorie Taylor Greene told me to go back to my country and kicked our then-18-year-old communications director. And then sent an army of trolls and death threats my way when I called her out. She doesn’t get to play victim now.

The scapegoating of outsider groups is the mechanism by which fascists seize power. Once the ROI on demonizing one group runs dry they fold the next into the narrative. They do this, rather than govern. This is what fascism is.

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Intermittent fasting: Day 2 Easier today, making it to the 15.5 hr mark, probably because I wasn't as nervous about feeling miserable. I don't feel miserable at all.

Intermittent fasting: Day 1 Accidentally put cream in my coffee so that's a waste

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

There is no fog bc there is no war. This is U.S. employees stealing U.S. military resources to sadistically murder foreign nationals for reasons unrelated to NatSec. Everyone involved should be court martialed, dischardged, and extradited to Venezuela for criminal trial. apnews.com/article/hegs...

Trump claims they're both incompetent, but only his man is a little couch-mounting weirdo

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

“Kill them all” or “fucking kill them all” is oftentimes a depressingly accurate way to summarize the actions and ambitions of Trump’s second presidency thus far.

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

Short of taxing them out of existence, refusing to adopt AI may be the best way to destroy the billionaire class.
